Sometimes we all need a shiny distraction from everything else going on in the world, and celebs on the 2025 Golden Globes red carpet took that sentiment to heart. On the already *sparkly* night, celebs like Ariana Grande, Briana Chickenfry, and first-time Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser all rocked shiny, metallic, sequin looks that in a number of different silhouettes, cuts, and styles.
Last year, the Golden Globes red carpet trend was all about see-through outfits that left little to the imagination. (Just think back to Florence Pugh’s free the nipple moment!). Although this year celebs donned more opaque looks, they are still as eye-catching as ever, and totally on-theme.
The Golden Globes is the event that kicks off awards season each year, and since they’re taking place in Beverly Hills, California, inclement weather won’t force any annoying fashion faux pas. That means the viewers get to enjoy fashion moments in all their glory, the way the fashion gods intended. Here are some of the standout metallic looks from the night.
Mikey Madison
The breakout star of Anora is nominated for Best Actress award in a musical or comedy and looked like an award herself on the red carpet. Madison wore custom Bottega Veneta and kept jewelry at a minimum with just one large pair of stunning earrings to say the least.
She opted for large sparkly platinum and gold diamond earrings from Tiffany & Co. that stole the show and nothing else. Madison’s skin was prepped with G.M. Collin skincare’s aptly named “diamond cream,” to get the perfect hydrated and dewy look for the carpet.
Cynthia Erivo
Did any movie make a bigger impact on 2024 than Wicked? The stars’ red carpet looks have been a topic of conversation for months now, but it seems now that they’ve stopped doing premiere red carpets, they can showcase their non-Wicked themed personal style a bit more.
Cynthia Erivo, who was nominated for Best Actress in a musical or comedy, donned the metallic trend with a silver sequined floral pattern that covered her entire custom Louis Vuitton dress. Celebrity Makeup Artist, Joanna Simkin used Benefit Cosmetics for her glam, including a sharp, dramatic liquid lined cat eye.
Miley Cyrus
Miley put her own spin on the metallic trend with shiny accents on her Celine dress. She even paired the dress with Celine’s most popular sunglass design of 2024: the $500+ Triomphe shades in black. Shades on the carpet is definitely an interesting choice for such a glam carpet, but Cyrus can do whatever she wants after spending basically a lifetime in the industry. Can she just lock in that world tour next?
Nikki Glaser
Glaser wore multiple sequin metallic looks at the Globes, starting with her silver pantsuit on the red carpet. For her opening monologue in the show, she wore a silver cowl neck dress of the same material.
Briana Chickenfry
Our girl has had an interesting 2024 to say the least. The BFFs Podcast host looked radiant on the Golden Globes red carpet in a rouched gunmetal metallic gown by Maria Lucia Hohan. When the dress debuted on the runway it had draped sleeves, but LaPaglia decided to forego those for a totally strapless plunge gown. At least no one will be telling her to cover up this year!
Elle Fanning
Although she wasn’t nominated for an award this year, Elle Fanning’s 2024 flick A Complete Unknown was nominated for Best Drama, and she showed out to support. She took a unique spin on the metallic trend by opting for a shiny golden fabric with leopard print trim on the top. The dress was designed by Balmain and styled by Samantha McMillen, who kept the look simple with a choker.
Cara Delevigne
Now, for some color! Cara Delevingne took to the red carpet to with bestie Anya Taylor-Joy in a blue sequin number, standing out in a sea of golden dresses on the red carpet this year. Paired with gorgeous diamond drop earrings, the look was effortlessly chic.
Most recently Delevingne has been playing Sally Bowles on Broadway in London in Cabaret.
Ariana Grande
With metallic, sequin embellishments on top and a shiny yellow gold fabric on the bottom, Grande stunned in a vintage Givenchy gown and deviated away from her pink red carpet looks for something different at the Golden Globes. The Wicked star is nominated for Best Supporting Actress.
Kristen Bell
Kristen Bell was a vision in metallic gold and her sparkly shooting-star style diamond earrings added even more glam to the look. Bell is nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in her smash Netflix hit, Nobody Wants This.
Mindy Kaling
Mindy Kaling and Mikey Madison wore verrryyyy similar gowns, although Kaling’s was by Ashi Studio. The texture of the dress paired with crystal embellishments gave a sort of water-drip effect to the look. The drop diamond earrings only added to the glam factor.
